By Lee Ann Carter
Kim Pitman, Executive Director of the Greenville
Humane Society (GHS) is a hometown girl, raised right
up the road in Spartanburg. College took her to Virginia
where she began her corporate career with General
Electric Financial Services in Richmond. I worked in
corporate sales and marketing and while it afforded
me a good living, it wasnt fullling, Pitman said.
As luck would have it her husbands career brought
them back to Greenville in 2004 during a time when
GHS was really oundering. Pitmans husband was
assisting as a volunteer and when the Executive
Directors position became available; Pitman stepped
up and never looked back. Now six years later, its
obvious she has found that often elusive balance
between life fulllment and a successful career.
With Pitman at the helm GHS has blossomed. They
moved out of shared facilities with Greenville County
Animal Care Services into their own brand new
location at 305 Airport Road in the spring of 2011.
Since then so many animals have been adopted and
new programs and services added that the second
phase of expansion is in the planning stages.
GHS is funded solely from donations, monies earned
through pet adoptions and services and yearly
fundraisers. We are very blessed by the generosity
of the community and our corporate sponsors,
especially the extremely generous and
unexpected gift from the late Margaret
Southern. There are so many non-prots competing
for charitable donations that we are very fortunate.
Presently GHS is making plans for their upcoming
Pawmetto Derby Party. Scheduled for Thursday,
May 1st at The Old Cigar Warehouse, this fun lled
event will feature gourmet food and bourbon tastings,
live music, and for the rst time ever, Run For the
Noses, Greenvilles own unique take on the
Kentucky Derby.
The second Tuesday of each month from now
through October is Yappy Hour in the GHS courtyard.
March was this years rst event and over 200
people and pets came out to enjoy unlimited pizza,
beer, barks and a band.
Finally, dont forget to mark your calendars for the
August 23rd Greenville Mutt Strut. This 5K Run/Walk
is the largest dog friendly race in the state and one of
their largest fundraisers.
For information on everything from adopting a new
best furry friend to all the services found at the
Greenville Humane Society as well as volunteer and
donation options and more details on the above
mentioned upcoming events, please visit them
online or on Facebook.

The harvest is rich, but the workers are few.
In the Village there are quiet meetings in homes were people gather and pray. They pray for the neighborhood, for
healing, for peace, blessings, and each other. It is the moral ber of this community.
Kathy Hall is a pastor and neighbor in the Village. Along with her
husband John, they have founded The Village Church. Kathy, who
says, We are not social activists, or community development
organizers. She has simply made
herself available. She spends her time
walking and praying with neighbors.
She offers friendship, something rare
in a society where neighbors hardly
know each other, and many people
live in isolation and spiritual poverty.
A friend who is there in the painful, lonely and sometimes difcult and desperate
moments of this life, to meet whatever needs arise and to say, You are not alone.
In the future Miss Kathy hopes to see a community of people with no division of race,
class, or age, worshiping together. If you would like to become part of the building blocks of this community, contact
John or Kathy Hall @ johnqhall@gmail.com.
The Village Wrench is an organization that offers bikes and bike repair. Children do a few hours of community
service to earn a bike. The Wrench is in need of a leader and someone to help with the children. If you are
interested in being part of the Wrench, contact Wes at weswhitesell@gmail.com.
The folks at Naked Pasta now accept EBT!! They have created The Wheel, set to open
May 1. They have also started a community garden. If you want to be part of the garden,
contact Ed at edc@creativecarads.com.
The Owl is taking up residence in a local food truck. YAY!! Taking ne
dining out of the hands of the wealthy. Look for them soon.
Art and Light Gallery will be having an exhibition: The Memory of Place, featuring artist
Elizabeth Rundorff Smith. Opening April 4 in the Flatiron building, 1205 Pendleton St.
The CEE (Center for Educational Equity) Boxing Club is having the Jr Olympic Boxing
Event. It will be held Wed, April 30, at the TD Convention Center. For more information on this

GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA APRIL ISSUE, 2014 The Fete Gazette
By E.
Richard
Walton
Jonathan Green, an artist who
loves painting Gullah-life, gets
animated when he talks about
his ancestral S.C. roots.
He said hes
at lost for
words about
why Gullah
peoples
contributions
havent been
included in
the states
history books. Keep in the mind
that Gullah folks and the West
Africans were all coming to
America from Africas rich
western coast between the 16th
and 19th centuries.
Why dont we know about the
contributions made by the West
Africans and rice? he asks.
When Green, 58, who is from
Gardens Corner, S.C., is
animated (and is occasionally
deeply disappointed) when he
talks about these subjects.
Before they were slaves these
folks were armorers, craftsmen
and experts from Sierra Leone,
Liberia, Gambia, Senegal and
Nigeria.
They didnt arrive here empty-
handed, he said to the 250
attending a Riley Institute at
Furman University seminar in
Hilton Head last month. Green
said they brought creation
expertise and crops to S.C.
One of the central crops was
ricewhich needs heat and
water to grow.
Green said the Gullah people
contributed to the legacy of
the south.
My people created much of
whats created.
The area that Green spoke of is
known as the states Low-
country. In fact, they were called
either Gullahs or Geechees and
mostly lived along the coast.
The Geechees were basically the
same people from West Africa
but lived in Georgia.
All of this artists ancestors
lived along a 435 mi. span along
the Atlantic, from Cape Fear,
N.C. to Jacksonville, Fla. Its
one and the same area also
defined as the Gullah/Geechee
Cultural Heritage Corridor.
SC ARTIST JONATHAN GREEN WANTS
GULLAH PEOPLE MAIN STREET HISTORY
GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA APRIL ISSUE, 2014 The Fete Gazette
The historians, educators and
property owners interested in
preserving the heritage corridor
were bestowed with a $10
million federal grant to study
this area. Experts wanted to
know about the cemeteries,
churches, homes and an art
form that still exists in the
corridor.
S.C. Rep. James E. Clyburn was
one of the co-sponsors of the
federal grant, which was
awarded several years ago.
Historians estimate that 10
million to 12.5 million Africans
were brought to the new world,
according to the Trans-Atlantic
Slave Trade Database. Some
historians estimate that 2
million to 4 million perished on
the journey from West Africa
or succumbed shortly after
arriving.
In all, Green estimates that
there were about 500
plantations involved.
And the artist points out that
recognizing these contributions
is just a matter updating the
states history. Green thinks
well all be better off once
records are righted. Most
people dont know about the
West Africans, he said. More
importantly, how are we going
to understand each other
without the knowledge about
our past?
Speaking to about 75 students
in late March, he said that hes
been talking about West
Africans and rice for about 5
years.
My friends and fellow artists
think Im crazy, he said.
Green sees himself as an
advocate for the arts.
And he talks about artists in
general who arent recognized
for their work. Hard work! What
about the artist that created
stain glass for churches or those
who created church pews?
What about all the art thats in
the Bible? he asks. That art
just didnt appear out of thin
air, he scolds.
He said that when countries
win wars over other countries
the first thing the victor does is
to destroy the art and kill the
intellectuals.
Green said the intimidated
people wont say a word.
They know that the people will
make believe it didnt happen,
he said. He eludes to the recent
film The Monument Men, a
group of curators, historians
and museum directors assigned
to save art in Europe before
Hitler destroyed it all at the
end of WWII.
Green said he will continue to
talk about these issues until
something is done about them.
For those interested in the
Gullahs and rice, there are
several Gullah festivals
scheduled for this spring.
Green is available in Charleston
and in Greenville.

Forward
Greenville Forward was created in January 2006 to help Greenville achieve Vision 2025, the bold, comprehensive,
and aggressive plan to create a vibrant Greenville in the next twenty-ve years. By having a group like
Greenville Forward, whose sole purpose is to facilitate, coordinate,
and communicate the ideas from Vision 2025, the aggressive goals
for Vision 2025 will be kept vibrant, alive, and attainable.
Your Future Can Be Dirty
By Catie Moore
Catie Moore, a Greenville resident for 22 years, is a senior Communication Studies Major at Furman University.
In 2012, CNN ranked Greenville among the top 10 fastest growing cities in the United States. Big businesses have
rolled in. The population has swelled. A reputable downtown area has been revived. Here we are, 2 years later, still
growing steadfastly with no end in sight.
Now think forward. Think ahead 10 years. What will Greenville be known for? How will we be characterized then?
We have reached a turning point. The city has made amazing progress: from renovation of the old to the
establishment of the new. A foundation for greater growth is in place. Now we plunge into an unknown future. Will
Greenville become just another concrete jungle? Will we be characterized by a typical citys population of strangers,
frequenting big-box retailers and items shipped from China instead of prioritizing local business? And will we follow
the trend toward unhealthy lifestyles? Or will we create our own unique Southern hub? Will we become a large city
that values affordable health, supports local production, and prioritizes relationships with community members?
Uncertainty can be frightening. Having little control over your future, even more frightening. But youthe
hardworking businessperson, the over-active teenager, the recent retiree can impact the future.
Gardening for Good, one of many programs within Greenville Forward, is the avenue
for simple change with big implications. Gardening for Good provides centrality and
networking to citizens involved in the community garden movement sweeping the
Upstate. By connecting citizens through their network of 70+ community gardens, the
program provides local garden awareness, promotes the exchange of knowledge and
collects resources to be used in various gardens. Such a movement is not to force
Greenville citizens to drop everything and start tilling the backyard. This is a movement
for affordable health, knowledge and appreciation of food production, awareness of the
effortlessness in supporting local production and keeping the city beautiful. Above all
else, Gardening for Goods core aspect is community. Its about knowing and connecting with people. Its about
helping your neighbors. Odds are youve unknowingly driven by most of the gardens in the Gardening for Good
network: maybe once a month, maybe once a week, maybe everyday.
Now a challenge to the Greenville citizen: next time you log into your
laptop, tablet or iPhone, postpone your Google search for just a few
minutes. Go to the Gardening for Good web site. Click on the Find a
Garden tab, locate your nearest garden, and drop by. Gardening for Good
provides educational resources and opportunities for any citizen to
become as involved as theyd like and the more people who are involved,
the more people in the community benet. Simple as that.
Become aware of your surroundings. Take advantage of your surroundings. Become aware of your built environment.
How you use it is our communitys future. The ball is in your court.

What better way to celebrate National
Poetry Month than to open with TS
Eliots The Waste Land? Forget Easter.
April is about poetry. In celebration of
this, I turn to someone whose words
are far wiser than mine.
In 2006, students at Xavier High School
in New York wrote to author Kurt
Vonnegut asking him to visit their
school. He didnt get to make an
appearance, but he did write them
back. He ended the letter with an
assignment that I am going to issue each and every one of you this month. Because it is easy, it is beautiful,
and we all need moments of inner peace every now and then.
Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you
possibly can. But dont tell anybody what youre doing. Dont show it or recite it to anybody, not even your
girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?
Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash recepticals [sic]. You will nd
that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot
more about whats inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
You can read the full letter here. Read The Waste Land here.
APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
- TS Eliot The Waste Land

As the dogwoods start to bloom on North Main Street and
the mild temps call you to Falls Park, the West End comes
alive with the sounds of cheering crowds and the distinctive
CRACK of baseball bats. When the Greenville Drives
2014 home season opens Thursday, April 10th, it will be the
latest chapter in this citys rich baseball history. For more
than a century, Greenville has been involved in a deeply
committed love affair with Americas Game.
Long before The Drive...or even the G-Braves...came to
town, the surrounding mill towns and their baseball teams
had already given us local heroes whose prowess at bat was
the stuff of legends. Undoubtedly the greatest of these
near-mythical gures was Joe Jackson. Dubbed Shoeless
Joe by fans, this humble man started his extraordinary
baseball career right here in Greenville. The son of a
sharecropper, Joe rst went to work in textile mills as a child.
As a young teen, he was recruited to join the mills baseball
team as its youngest player. First positioned as a pitcher, Joe
was quickly moved to left eld, the position he would play for
the rest of his career, after his massive fastball actually broke
another players arm. But it was at bat that Joe really made
his mark. Swinging his beloved Black Betsy, Joe set record
after record - many of which still stand today. His remarkable
talent soon caught the eye of major league scouts. After
playing with several professional teams, Joe was signed by
the Chicago White Sox in 1915. Over the next four seasons,
he became Chicagos favorite sports hero, leading the league
in batting statistics and winning the admiration of fans and
fellow players alike. Babe Ruth even modeled his batting
style after Joes and Ty Cobb said Joe was the nest natural
hitter in the history of the game. Joes legend began to
crumble when he and seven of his teammates were accused
of throwing the 1919 World Series in what became known
as the Black Sox Scandal. Despite the fact that Jackson
had 12 hits (a Series record), a .375 batting average (the
best of both teams) committed no errors, and he and the
other seven were acquitted of fraud charges, the Chicago
Eight were banned from baseball for life by Commissioner
Kennesaw Landis. He never played professional baseball
again after the 1920 season.
Greenville Drive: Greenvilles Class A minor league team
opens their home season at Fluor Field on April 10th, with
home games also taking place at 7PM the 11th -16th and a
4PM game on Sunday the 13th. Tickets are available for
$7-$9 in advance or $8-$10 at the gate. For a full schedule,
statistics and a team roster, visit their web site here.

PULSE in order to meet the new faces of the Greenville.
Shes passionate about the Social Committee because it
offers members a chance to network and interact in a

The World According to Bo-Jo
Each month, Greenvilles least powerful power couple, Tammy Johnson and John Boyanoski, take on topics
facing young professionalseverything from dating to business to culture.
This months topic: Vacations for the Young Professionals Together
John: This should be easy. Dont all young professionals
have the time and money to take exotic vacation?
Tammy: Did you forget, dear, what our schedule looks
like? And our budget?
John: I was trying to be sarcasticthat doesnt
come off so well in type?
Tammy: No.
John: Truth be told, we have struggled with this whole
vacation thing for some time, havent we?
Tammy: Yes, but I like to think a lot of couples do as well.
Lets not even worry about both getting time
away from work together. Thats another article.
But its tough to nd the right balance between
doing things we both enjoy, that one person
enjoys and what the other person enjoys. Not
to sound to clich, but the stress of planning
vacation can almost ruin the actual vacation.
And at this time of year as young professionals
are excited about shaking off winter, it becomes
important.
John: Preach on.
Tammy: For example, lets say the guy in the relationship
wants to see a baseball game on the trip and the
girl doesnt care for baseball. How do you
balance that? Can you balance that? Is the
choice, for every baseball game, there is an
unlimited shopping spree? A vacation doesnt
need to be an episode of Pawn Stars when it
comes to negotiations.
John: But a lot of couples do make those trade-offs
dont they?
Tammy: Yes. And it works. Sometimes. But a lot of times,
it makes for a very tough situation and stresses
the relationship because the couple is splitting
time instead of sharing time.
John: To clarify, you are not speaking from experience.
Tammy: Um, of course. Of course. And hey, you havent
added much to this article yet!
John: Sorry, I was looking up places for where we
actually might want to go on vacation! Ideally,
you dont want trade off. You want a vacation
Tammy Johnson is the owner of Liquid Catering
and The Old Cigar Warehouse and is a former
chair of PULSE. John Boyanoski is the owner of
Complete Public Relations and author of sorts
and current chair of PULSE.
that is the perfect blend of what both person
likes. That way everyone is happy.
Tammy: But doesnt that leave a lot of bland, neutral
memories? How exciting is that?
John: Not very.
Tammy: Well, we came up with a solution that makes
vacations a little easier.
John: We did?
Tammy: We did. And you get to explain this month.
John: Well, instead of doing trade-offs, compromises
or overly bland, we did a framework. One
person makes the decisions on the trip, but the
other person puts in parameters or a
framework.
Tammy: Preach on.
John: For example, it is my turn to make a decision
on a quick spring trip. Tammy put down what
she felt worked: No more than three hours
from home. Head north. Need a nearby lake.
Some hiking trails. Flying is possible. Cabin
preferred, but not necessary. From there, I
drew in the rest of the details and ergo we
have a trip that we both get something out of
it and enjoy.
Tammy: Speaking of that, where are we going on
this trip?
John: I heard our backyard is nice at this time of
the year.
Tammy: ...

theyve dubbed SXSE (South by Southeast). The
Music Camp is another gem of a festival location
located in convenient proximity to Greenville,
right of of I-85 towards Spartanburg. Primitive
camping is available at SXSE as well and local
food and art vendors will be on site for all of
your needs and wants. While this festival
focuses more on our musical neighbors to the
north, there are a few Greenville regulars
playing as well, and ALL of the music is good
and fun! Some Greenville names you might
recognize include Wasted Wine, Marcus King
Band, Milli Fungus and Four 14! Along with the
convenient location and great entertainment,
tickets to this event are highly afordable.

Ok. Get this picture.
Im sitting in the middle of a room that has a permanent 20 foot, green screen wall
to the left of me, a permanent blue screen wall behind me to my right, a permanent
white screen wall behind me to my left and in front of my I see the blackest black
room studio I have ever built. Without going into details, Studio E is starting to look
like a real live performance capture studio that will eventually be the home for
MDORadio.com, Rockwell Sound & Image and of course, Hanvey Time Capsule Video
Productions. All of this is great news but... I am having so much fun overseeing this
project that we did not shoot a single new video for this months article!
Time ies when youre having fun, yet I have a responsibility that I must fulll.
For the past two months I have been
watching my own video library in an
effort to determine my next stage of
capture. I have found some things I
want to change, but most important,
I found some awesome performances
that have gathered dust. Dust
gathering is not what I like to see
happen to my favorite performers
when I am lucky enough to be in the
right place at the right time with my
cameras and mics ON. I found one
that I watch over and over that I
must share.
It feels odd talking about the Catsh Po Boys show at
Smileys as back in the days, but it is from back in the
days and history that can not be repeated. Darby no
longer has the long owing hair, or at least she doesnt
wear it like this anymore. And the every Friday dinner
show at Smileys is long gone. I miss that gateway to
the weekend. My Fridays are now so boring that I have
to build my own place to drag in the musicians and
make them play in front of my cameras thus, Studio E.
Enough ramble. Watch this and you will understand why
this video is one I will return to for many years to come.
Its simple. I love the chemistry of Darby Wilcox, JM King
and Joe Jones.

Spring is ofcially here, which means one thing
Spring kicks of the most exciting time of the year
in live music, and it doesnt end until late fall.
Music festivals are a culture all their own, and not
much else can beat them. Not only do you feel
like youre in a completely diferent world, but
everyone is excited to be therethe fans, the
musicians, the vendors, even the city itself feels
like its buzzing with a new found energy. Its
festival season for the next seven months, and if
you miss one, there are literally hundreds of others
you can go to. But right now, you have it all to
look forward to, and one thing is for sure, this is
going to be a fantastic season.
If youre not too familiar with the
music festival life, let me give you
the 411. The four most popular and
famous music festivals in the US are
Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza,
and Austin City Limits Festival. For
the past few years, Coachella and
ACL Fest have grown so big, that
they hold it twice. They
literally have the same
exact music festival, with
the same line up, on two
consecutive weekends.
Oh, and they also
completely sell out
both weekends.
Coachella is held in Indio, CA and is the rst up in
the season, on April 1113 and April 1820 Coachella
is known for its desert ambiance and its many
celebrity sightings. This year, the lineup includes
Outcast, Muse, and Arcade Fire, along with many,
many more
amazing acts.
Next up is
Bonnaroo on
June 1215, held
in Manchester,
TN. Bonnaroo
might have
more of a jam
band past, but recent years have proved to have
something for everyone. This years lineup has
huge names like Elton John, Jack
White, and Lionel Richie, and Kanye
West. Lollapalooza is held this year on
August 13. One great thing about
Lollapalooza is that it is held in the

ago. Not only do you get the full music festival
erience, but you also have a fascinating city to
over, and you get to stay in hotels instead of
ping out. This year the headliners are Eminem,
s of Leon, Calvin Harris, and The Avett
hers, plus many more. Finally, we have ACL
. Austins Zilker Park is home to this music
val, and this year it is being held on October
and October 1012. The lineup hasnt been
ounced yet, but ACL Fest tends to have one of
most eclectic lineups around. Last year their
dliners were Kings of Leon, Muse, The Cure, and
eche Mode.
w, if your pockets arent
p enough to make it to
of these festivals, there
plenty of options
able within driving
ance of Greenville. The
that Im most excited
ut this year is Shaky
es Festival on May 911
tlanta, GA. This is the
ond annual Shaky Knees
, as last year was such a success. Last year
had headliners like The Lumineers, Jim James,
d of Horses, and South Carolinas own Shovels
& Rope. This years lineup has blown me
away with acts including, The National,
Alabama Shakes, Local Natives, Foals,
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros,
Modest Mouse, and many more. Tickets are still on
sale, both single day and 3-day passes are
available.
Greenville is no stranger to music festivals.
Artisphere and Fall for Greenville are two
fantastic festivals for the city, and the best thing
about them is that they are both free. This year
Artisphere is being held on May 911, and Fall for
Greenville will be on October 1214. However, if I
had to pick my favorite Greenville based festival, it
would have to be Woofstocka
beer and music festival that
benets the Greenville Humane
Society. Their tag line is one day
of brews, bands, and barks.
Thats right, you can bring your
dog to Woofstock, have your ll
of craft beer, and listen to live
music. No word on whether
there will be 2014 Woofstock,
but heres to hoping.
So, now that youre well versed in music festival
culture, hopefully I have inspired you to attend one
during the 2014 season. Theres one out there for
everyone, you just need to do a little research to
nd what you like.
Happy Festival Season, everyone!

Cars are yellow. Half of people have scratchy throats. Front lawns are awakening from winter hibernation. Its spring.
College graduates will soon be entering the job market. Companies are weighing a newbie with an experienced
professional for their open positions. What sets you apart beyond your resume? Your interview.
Every interviewer is different. Some managers want to see you so nervous youre close to urinating on yourself.
Others make interviews an informal conversation. No matter what kind of setting, there are key things you need to
be prepared for as you interview.
1) Do you have specic examples?
Some interviewers might ask questions along the lines of, What would you do if Those kind of
questions tell them nothing except what you think you would do in an optimal situation. The truth is past
performance predicts future behavior. Bring examples of how youve performed in the past. Keep them real,
relevant, and to the point.
2) Do you know about this company?
Do your homework. Why do you really want to work at this company? What about it attracts you? Why would
you want to be here versus somewhere else? Research the rm, the person interviewing you, and clues about
what culture in the company is like. Personalize your response to tell the interviewer you want to work here,
not just anywhere.
3) Ask your own questions.
Be prepared; come with questions of your own to ask. Steer clear of questions easily answered
on the companys website (about benets, vacation, etc). The most impressive question Ive
been asked by an interviewee is, When you do my one year evaluation, what results can I
make happen that will lead you to call it a successful rst year? One question shows your
commitment, attention to results, and that youre in it to make your future boss look good
(not just get a paycheck yourself).
There are plenty of advice points for interviews like dressing for the part,
showing up early, and bringing a copy of your resume. Most
candidates have heard thoseits the unique attention you pay
to the company you want to work for that will impress a future
employer more than anything.

AN EPIC GASTRO
EXPERIENCE
YOU CAN FIND THIS FOODIE ONLINE AT EPICGASTROEXPERIENCE.COM AND ON (@EPICGASTROEXP).
Making Our
Gardens Grow!
If you have not seen the news lately, perhaps you have been shopping
for mangos, carrots, oranges, tomatoes, or even almonds. Have you
noticed how the price of food has increasingly gone upwell there is
a drought on the left coast of the United Statesscientists estimate
that something like 98% of the state of California is in a water crisis. I
say crisis because California, as their Dept of Food & Agriculture
reports, is the number one producer of farm products (crops, livestock
& livestock products) in the country. They account for 15% of national
cash receipts for crops, growing over 400 different fruits and
vegetables, and accounts for more than half of the US-grown fruits,
nuts, and vegetables.
I am quoting all of these numbers, not to bore you but to alert you that
we, us great folk living in and around Greenville, South Carolina need
to gure out a way to grow our own foodeither in our backyards or
in community Victory Gardens. The drought is not only affecting our
prices here at the local Publix and BiLo, it is affecting the prices all
around the world (as we now live in a global grocery store it seems).
This then becomes a great burden on the working poor they get
priced out of fresh, healthy food!
Here is the other side of the coin! Honey Bees. Yes, those tireless
workers of the food chain are disappearing & dying off. Experts are
unsure as to why, but they have been calling it Colony Collapse
Disorder. Beekeepers are having entire hives just up and disappear
out of the hives that are needed to basically pollinate anything that
grows on a tree, on a vine,
or has a ower. Each
seed in a melon must be
pollinated in the ower by
a honeybee! Dan Rather
reported not to long ago
on Dan Rather Reports
that beekeepers have lost over 60% of the managed honeybee
colonies, nationwide!
A Whole Foods store in Providence, Rhode Island, showed what it
would be like without bees. It turns out that 52% of what you buy at
Whole Foods is due to the work of pollinators like honey bees!
For one, there are a few of us here locally that are working on a
project to bring attention to the way we get our food. We see a need
to use vacant spaces and innovative technologies in and around
Greenville to grow FOOD! Imagine the possibilities.
While it is too early to share more about these amazing projects and
ideas; something huge will transform the City of Greenville for
generations.
In the mean time, take a look at this PBS show,
GrowingAGreenerWorld.com, and their episode about the Brooklyn
Grange Project. With 3 rooftops, 2.5 acres of space, they pulled about
50,000 pounds of produce of the roof & get $50 a pound for honey
from their hives!
Isnt it time we put the Green back into Greenville?

hen Don Richardson moved to
Greenville, he had already put in
many years in the brewing
industry, garnering accolades
for his recipes from the Great American Beer Festival
and the World Beer Cup during the time he spent
working for the Boulder Beer Company in Colorado,
Cottonwood Brewery in Boone, North Carolina and
Carolina Beer Company in Mooresville, NC. A native of
Atlanta, Richardson relocated to Greenville from North
Carolina in 2009. Greenvilles only commercial brewery
at that time was Thomas Creek, which has been selling
craft beers since 1998.
That changed in 2013, when Richardson teamed up
with business partner Andrew Watts to open Quest
Brewery. Since opening in July 2013, Quest has been
making its presence felt with its now-familiar taps in
many a watering hole in the Upstate and, indeed,
throughout the state of South Carolina.
In addition to limited-run barrel-aged beers and
seasonal brews like the Pecan Porter and the Don du
Saison, Quest has four main beers in their Legendary
Series (each named for a gure or scene from
mythology) that you can nd in bars and restaurants
throughout the year Smoking Mirror Porter, Kaldi
Coffee Stout, Ellida IPA, and Golden Fleece BPA.
As passionate as Richardson is about the brewing
process (his favorite beers to make are Belgians, he
says, for their complexity and the challenge of brewing
them), he is also enthusiastic about building
relationships in what he calls the craft beer community,
and indeed, the general community of the Upstate,
western North Carolina, and eastern Georgia.
We like to try to support the local suppliers and folks
who make local ingredients, from grains to hops,
Richardson states. To be specic, Quest uses malts
from Ashevilles Riverbend Malt House and hops from
Blue Ridge Hop Farm in Marshall, North Carolina. And
the next time you enjoy a Quest Kaldi Stout, know that
it was brewed with beans roasted by Greenvilles own
West End Coffee Company.
Richardsons sense of community also extends to other
breweries in the area. And Greenville, by the way, is
now home to two new breweries in Brewery 85 and
Swamp Rabbit Brewery.
Its all about camaraderie with other breweries and
working together since the craft beer industry is
basically about 6% of the total beer consumed. We all
feel like there is a lot of room to grow there, and if we
can all grow there together, theres a piece of the pie
for everybody, Richardson explains. Point in fact is
an Imperial Brown Ale that Quest is brewing in
collaboration with Terrapin Brewery in Athens,
Georgia, a portion of the sales from which will go to
an Upstate charity.
Community involvement for Quest entails
environmental responsibility. Were trying to get as
close as we can to zero waste, Richardson afrms.
Accordingly, the brewery donates the used mash from
its brewing process to the Clemson Agricultural
Department and to local farmers for livestock feed.
The company also employs Spartanburg rm Junk
Matters for recycling of waste.
Quest is also invested in supporting the local music
scene, with weekly outdoor concerts that it stages on
the brewerys premises every Thursday beginning in
April and running through October. The kickoff for this
years concert series begins on April 3 with Shonna
Tucker and Eye Candy from Athens, Georgia. Thursday
night concerts start at 7pm and go until 9pm. And if
you miss the show on Thursday, the taproom has live
music indoors on Fridays as well from 6pm till 8pm.
For the latest on Quest Brewerys events and brews,
visit their website at www.questbrewing.com.
Or better yet, stop by their taproom and sample their
goods at the brewery, located at 55 Airview Drive,
Greenville, SC, 29607. The taproom is open 4pm
8pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 4pm 9pm
Thursdays and Fridays, and Saturdays from 12pm
9pm. Free Tours of the facility are provided on
Saturdays from 1pm 4pm.

A DOS E OF
Tony adjusted his grip on the subway bar and shifted the
weight from his right leg to his left. It was a cool
morning, but he was sweating a bit. It could have been
due to all the body heat of the passengers crammed into
his morning commute. But the more likely reason was
that he was handed a note the night before to report to
the foremans offce frst thing this morning. He liked
his work and was happy to have a job in this economy,
especially since his wife just gave birth to his daughter
just over a month ago. He supported a whole family
now, and the thought of losing his job scared him.
The train came to his stop and he stepped on to the
platform, along with about 100 other commuters, and
then up the stairs to the street. Before he crossed the
street to the construction site of the latest high-rise to
make its way to the citys skyline, he wiped the sweat off
of his brow with the back of his shirtsleeve and wiped
his palms on the front of his jeans. He walked across the
street and up the steps to the foremans trailer, cleared
his throat and knocked on the door.
What?! came the shout from the trailer as if the
foreman had just sat down to the paper and his
morning constitutional.
It...Its Tony, Mr. Kretchsky. You asked me
Open the door for chrissakes. This aint no whorehouse.
Tony quickly did as he was bid and was soon standing in
front of Kretchsky, the foreman. He wasnt a big man,
by any means, but his presence flled the room, as did
his voice. He always had a cup of coffee in his hand and
as Tony looked around his offce, he noticed four
additional half-flled cups in varying stages of staleness.
When Kretchsky saw it was Tony that had come in, he
changed his demeanor as if a child had just entered.
Oh, Tony, yeah, thanks for coming by. He tried putting
Tony at ease. Have a seat. Yeah, just move that stuff
anywhere. You want some coffee?
No thanks, Im fne. Tony wiped his palms on his
jeans again as subtly as he could and wondered how
much of his brow sweat was showing. His heart skipped
a beat every time Kretchsky spoke, which he was about
to do again.
First things frst Tony, I want you to know youre doing
a great job. Everybodys impressed with your talent and
Im sure youre going to have a great future in
construction of you want it.
Tony appreciated the words and forced a smile.
Unfortunately, he couldnt shake the feeling that there
was a but coming and he could only focus on that.
The but.
Also, I dont want you to think you know what, I
need some coffee, you sure I cant get you a cup?
Kretchsky walked over to the coffee machine and
looked over at Tony, who simply pursed his lips and
shook his head no. Then Kretchsky, with fresh coffee in
hand, sat on the edge of his desk, looked directly at
Tony and got to the but.
So, I dont want you to think youre job is in jeopardy
or anything. Like I said everybody thinks youre doing
a great job. Tony took a deep breath, stopped sweating
and leaned back slightly in his chair. Kretchsky
continued. I asked you to come by this morning to talk
about how youre ftting in with the other guys.
Tony was a little confused by this and said so. The
other guys? Theyre great. Johnny Ive known since
were kids and Scott
Kretchsky cut him off. Tony, let me get right to the
point. The problem has to do with the whistles and cat
calls when women walk by the construction site.
Tonys jaw dropped open and he was immediately on
the defensive. I don, I dont do any of that stuff. You
know, Im probably one of the few guys on the whole
crew who doesnt!
Kretchsky held out his one free hand to calm Tony
down and was very deliberate in his words. I know,
Tony. In fact, you are THE only one who doesnt. And
thats where the problem is. Kretchsky took a sip of his
coffee while he let that settle in Tonys brain.
Look, Tony, being a construction worker isnt just
about the work. Maybe it should be, I dont know. But
its also about maintaining an image. The women that
walk by our sites expect a little interaction and if they
dont get it, well, maybe they start walking another
route, which hurts the retailers in the building once
were done. Ya see?
Tony thought this was a joke at frst, but soon realized
it wasnt. Could this really be part of the job, he thought.
Then Kretchsky continued.
You know we overlooked it for a while, hoping youd
come to it naturally. But to be honest, were starting to
get complaints. I just got an email this morning from
some woman telling me that shes shakin it but you
aint takin it. Look, most of the guys would rather read
a book or sit in quiet contemplation when on their
breaks. But they pitch on for the good of the company
and the community. You see what Im sayin?
I guess so. Tony was still very perplexed by this whole
idea and was in a bit of a fog when Kretchsky began
walking him to the door.
Of course you do, Kretchsky reassured him. Now you
dont have to go overboard. Start out small until you
feel comfortable. A woo-woo. A whistle is always
good. Maybe you throw in an I like that now and
again. He patted Tony on the back. Youre gonna go
far in this business kid. Thanks for coming in.
